Abstract: This application is directed to a headset having an integrated data connector (e.g., a USB female connector). The headset may include an electronic device interfacing portion that may include a USB male connector and a 3.5 mm jack for engaging an electronic device. The headset may also include an acoustic portion that may include at least acoustic element (e.g., speaker) and a USB female connector. To connect the electronic device to a host device (e.g., to transfer music files or recharge the electronic device's battery), the USB connector of the electronic device interfacing portion can engage the host device. To provide audio to a user, the USB connector of the acoustic portion can engage the electronic device interfacing portion, which provides a path from the electronic device to the acoustic element for audio signals. This approach allows a user to use a single cable for connecting the electronic device to both the host device and the acoustic element.
